Brenn Owens, the new Earl of Merton, has come to London to
choose a bride. The broad-shouldered war hero has his pick
of the season's debutantes, but once he gazes upon Tess
Hamlin, he knows he won't rest until he's made her his own.
But behind Tess's light-hearted facade is desperation. She
has no choice but to marry quickly, before news of her
family's ruin becomes common gossip, so she accepts Brenn's
sudden proposal—without letting him know the truth. He
offers her days and nights of unforgettable passion and
love, but how can she marry him without feeling she's
betrayed him?
